Michael and Tracy are carpeting their family room that is 15 1/2 feet long and 12 1/4 feet wide. To find the amount of carpet needed, Michael says to multiply 15 1/2 and 12 1/4 and Tracy says to multiply 12 1/4 and 15 1/2. Who is right? How much carpet is needed?

Here, we want to get the person with the right calculations step between Michael and Tracy

From what we can see in the question, both exactly have the same calculations

They only differ in the number to put first

So we can say both are right

The amount of carpet needed will be;

12 1/4 * 15 1/2

= 49/4 * 31/2 = 1519/8

= 189 7/8 square feet
